Kranti Dal softens stand
Raju William Tribune News Service
Dehradun, September 30 Member of its parliamentary board Bhuvan Joshi today stated that the employees of the factory should be absorbed in the staff of the proposed IIM for the remaining period of their service, so that uncertainty over their future due to the closure of the factory could be removed. Notably, the employees had a couple of days back taken a strong exception to the memorandum submitted by the UKD to the Prime Minster to set up the proposed IIM on the factory premises. Sources said the UKD changed its earlier stand due to fear of losing political ground in the wake of strong reaction by the employees to its earlier move as well as the recent assurance given by Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Harish Rawat, who represents the Haridwar parliamentary constituency, that the HMT and RDPL factories at Ranibagh and Rishikesh would not be closed down as negotiations were on with their managements. In this backdrop, Joshi led the counter-attack on the Congress and the BJP holding both parties responsible for the present status of the factory, which has stopped functioning, but not formally closed down. He alleged that both main political parties of the state never bothered about the revival of the factory having 600 workers on its staff. He questioned the silence of the BJP-led state government on directions of the Union Minister of Heavy Industries to close the factory. Reacting to the UKD move, the employees union president Rajendera Singh Gangola and general secretary Bhola Dutt Paldia reiterated that the political parties should mount pressure on the union government to revive the factory. That would serve the interests of the large number of employees who still had left 16 years’ service this way. Miffed over the UKD move, they had blamed the political parties for exploiting their plight for electoral gains. It was for this reason that all representations given by them to elected representatives of all hues failed to evoke any positive response so far.

Doon footballers dream big
Dehradun, September 30 Public schools in Dehradun are known for their studies throughout the country. There is a good amount of sports in these schools as well, but games here are just limited to inter-school tournaments. Therefore, students fail to receive the kind of exposure that could help them to make it to the district and state teams. But with passing of time, these students feel that games should not be limited to inter-school matches only, instead they should get better opportunities to showcase their talent on a bigger stage. Talking to The Tribune Prabhanshu Gairola, one of the bright footballers of the St Joseph Academy, said, “I wish to take football as a career in the coming time, despite the fact that I have scored 84 per cent in the class X board examinations, I am keen on taking football as a career.” Prabhanshu wishes to join a football club sooner in the near future. “Our school team missed out to qualify to the u-19 district football tournament, organised by the District Football Association, due to examination. I hope to take part in the next tournament. It provides good opportunity to the talented students of the public schools.” He is a great fan of Liverpool player Zirald and wishes to see football to grow in India to the magnitude it is played in the European countries and wants to be a part of it. Another die-hard football player Vishvender Singh of Carman School wishes to play in the Army team. He, too, plans to join his favourite local club Doon Star, that he said was one of the best clubs he had seen playing at the District Football League. “I am a die-hard football lover and wants to carry on playing it after school. My best experience was to play in the recent district u-19 tournament. The tournament was organised for the first time and the standard was far better then inter-school tournament.” His dream is to play for the Army and services team, but before he breaks into any of these teams he is planning to join Doon Star Club to improve his skills. Dehradun Football Association secretary Divander Bisht said, “There is a huge untapped talent in the district that need to be tapped by the association, for this we organised the first district-level tournament.” |

Assn to help small, medium units
Dehradun, September 30 Services of retired, VRS holders as well as senior citizens, having a wealth of vast professional experience, will be utilised to provide short-term consultancy to fix problems of MSMEs. For this, SIDBI has signed an agreement with the IAU having about 15,000 member MSMEs, for the implementation of the action plan within six months. The pilot project, the success of which envisages its replication in other states, aims at creating a pool of retired experts to act as business development providers (BDS) to this segment of the industry. “We believe it will be a win-win situation for MSMEs and old hands for whom a utility will be created as BDS providers. A website and a helpline call centre where experts’ advice will be available between 3 pm and 5 pm daily on all working days, is being started very shortly,” said Pankaj Gupta, Chairman, IAU. It has been observed that MSMEs are suffering either due to obsolete technology or poor quality of products or due to financial reasons. Most of those running them are the first generation entrepreneurs having very little knowledge of available resources for resolving difficulties being faced by them. On the other hand, many retired or senior citizens intend to assume new roles, but find no platform. “Under the initiative, we have taken the responsibility to help match these experts with assignments from small entrepreneurs who need affordable short-term consultants in general management, training, technology upgrade, productivity, waste reduction, quality systems improvement, market linkages, taxation, labour and finance,” added Gupta. A detailed profiling of stake holders has already been completed. |
